EXHIBIT 99.1

                PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
                        SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
                         FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     In passing the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"Reform Act"), 15 U.S.C.A. Sections 77z-2 and 78u-5 (Supp. 1996), Congress
encouraged public companies to make "forward-looking statements" by creating a
safe harbor to protect companies from securities law liability in connection
with forward-looking statements. Northborough Holdings, Inc. ("Northborough"
or the "Company") intends to qualify both its written and oral forward-looking
statements for protection under the Reform Act and any other similar safe
harbor provisions.

     "Forward-looking statements" are defined by the Reform Act. Generally,
forward-looking statements include expressed expectations of future events and
the assumptions on which the expressed expectations are based. All forward-
looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various
expectations and assumptions concerning future events and they are subject to
numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual
events or results to differ materially from those projected. Due to those
uncertainties and risks, the investment community is urged not to place undue
reliance on written or oral forward-looking statements of Providence. The
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise this Safe Harbor Compliance
Statement for Forward-Looking Statements (the "Safe Harbor Statement") to
reflect future developments. In addition, Northborough undertakes no obligation
to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions,
the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results
over time.
